Winners

The efforts of all the participants were greatly appreciated, and
we hope they will submit new and improved space settlement
designs next year. Better yet, we hope they will be building real
space settlements a few decades hence. In any case, these were the
contestants judged to have the best entries:

The grand prize went to a team from St. Peter's School,
Buenos Ares, Argentina for a truly
incredible piece of publication quality work called "Tango III". Both
the technical quality and the presentation (in an inch thick document
including pictures, equations, text, etc.) were excellent. The entry
also included a computer program which appeared to be used to control a
shuttle simulator the same group built. The grand prize winners for
1996 are:

Sandre Felstein

Carlos Juda

Charito Orduna

Carolina Alejandra Podesta

Carolina Subotovsky

Carolina Zitzer

Note: for the rest of the prizes there were individual and team
